Collaboration with LEGO

We maintain an ongoing relationship with the LEGO Company, acting mostly as design consultants and exerting more or less influence depending on the project. We’re also learning Danish (very slowly).

LEGO MINDSTORMS

Released in 1998, the LEGO MINDSTORMS Robotic Invention Kit is based on research and ideas from the Lifelong Kindergarten group at the MIT Media Lab, which Brian was part of.

LEGO WeDo

PICO helped design the easy programming language for the LEGO Education WeDo Construction Set, which introduces young students to robotics by enabling them to build LEGO models featuring working motors and sensors.

While working on the Wedo and Universe projects, we were fortunate enough to work closely with Mads Purup, Ronny Scherer and Shane Clements. We are happy to say they have all become close friends and fellow travelers.
